VIDEO SPLIT SPEED STUDIO - USER GUIDE
=====================================
Version 1.1.0 - Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)


1. INSTALL
----------
Double click  VideoSplitSpeedStudio-Setup-1.1.0.exe
  -> Next -> Install -> Finish (leave "Launch" ticked to start right away)

The installer needs no administrator rights and puts the app in
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Programs\Video Split Speed Studio
A desktop shortcut and a Start Menu entry are created.

Prefer not to install? Unpack VideoSplitSpeedStudio-Portable-1.1.0.zip anywhere
and double-click Start.bat.

Uninstall: Settings > Apps > Video Split Speed Studio > Uninstall,
or the "Uninstall Video Split Speed Studio" Start Menu entry.

FFmpeg is already included - nothing else to install.


2. LICENCE (do this once)
-------------------------
Click the  License  button in the top right of the window.

  * Press  Start Free Trial  -> Free plan right away:
    100 videos, valid 30 days. No account, no internet.
  * Or paste a Pro / Business key you received and press  Update Plan.

The dialog also shows your Machine ID with a copy button. That is the code you
send when you ask for a paid key.

Note:  Log out  removes the key but keeps your video counter, so nobody can
restart the free allowance by logging out and in again.


3. BASIC WORKFLOW
-----------------
  1. INPUT / OUTPUT   -> Browse -> pick your video file
                         Browse -> pick where the parts should be saved
                         "Open folder" opens that folder in Explorer
  2. SPLIT SETTINGS   -> Split by duration (00:10:00 = one part every 10 min)
                            or Split into segments (10 = 10 equal parts)
                         The orange hint under it previews the plan as soon as
                         a video is loaded.
  3. TEXT ON SCREEN   -> optional: label prefix (Part) and a title,
                         and where each one sits on the frame
  4. SPEED            -> Normal speed (no blur) for original timing, or
                            Fast speed with speed factor, blur, quality, preset
  5. COPYRIGHT BYPASS -> master switch, category and effect (see section 6),
                            plus the zoom loop and horizontal flip
  6. BACKGROUND MUSIC -> optional track with its own volume
  7. START PROCESSING -> progress bar, live log, Cancel always available
  8. "Open folder"    -> your finished segments are there

Save settings keeps the whole setup for next time.


4. LOG PANEL
------------
Press "Show" next to LOG if something fails. The log tells you which file,
which step and which command was running. Include it when you ask for help.


5. LANGUAGE AND THEME
---------------------
Language (top bar) switches between English, Bengali, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish,
French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese - instantly, no restart.
The switch next to "FFmpeg found" toggles light / dark theme.

The thin orange strip along the top of the window scrolls a promo message -
click it to open the WhatsApp chat. Your name (set in Help) appears as a small
orange badge next to the window title.


6. COPYRIGHT BYPASS TOOLS (100 effects)
---------------------------------------
The card on the right-hand side is "Copyright Bypass Tools":

  Copyright Bypass   master switch. OFF = the video is processed unchanged.
  Category           10 groups: zoom/camera, crop & layout, motion & timing,
                     colour & visual style, transitions, text & graphics,
                     audio, storytelling, supporting visuals, advanced editing.
  Sub-category       10 effects per group -> 100 effects in total.

With the switch ON the chosen effect is applied automatically to every part
while splitting, and the effect id is added to the file name, for example
                     holiday_part03_1-2.mp4
A few effects cannot be done by FFmpeg (they need an editor); the LOG panel
then prints a short "Bypass note" telling you the manual step.

Help (top right) opens the A to Z help page: it explains every feature, lists
all 100 effects with AUTO / MANUAL marks, and holds the website and WhatsApp
links. Display name is saved there too.


7. TROUBLESHOOTING
------------------
"FFmpeg not found"
    Reinstall with the setup exe, or in the portable version make sure
    bin\ffmpeg.exe and bin\ffprobe.exe sit next to VideoSplitSpeedStudio.exe.

"Licence limit reached" / "Licence expired"
    License > Update plan and paste a new key, or start a new free trial
    after your 30 days are up.

"This licence key is not valid"
    Keys are tied to one computer. Check that you copied the whole key and
    that it was issued for this Machine ID.

Processing stops immediately
    Check the LOG panel. Usually the output folder is not writable or the
    source file is still open in another program.

Nothing happens when I double click the exe
    Windows SmartScreen may be asking first - press "More info" > "Run anyway"
    (only for the file you downloaded from where you bought it).

Your settings live in the app folder (data\settings.json); your video history
in data\history.json. Deleting them resets the app to defaults.
